What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires schools to provide teen dating violence prevention education
and establishes certain criteria governing the instruction provided. The bill requires
the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to prepare, by the beginning of the
2017-18 school year, a policy governing the prevention of and appropriate responses
to teen dating violence and sexual violence on school grounds, at school-sponsored
activities, and in vehicles used for the transportation of pupils to and from
school-sponsored activities. The bill also requires DPI to incorporate teen dating
violence and sexual violence curriculum into its model health curriculum. Within six
months after the beginning of the 2017-18 school year, each school board must adopt
either DPI's policy and curriculum or its own policy and curriculum.
Current law requires DPI to have developed a model school policy on bullying
by pupils. The policy on bullying must include a definition of bullying. This bill
requires DPI to periodically revise its model school policy on bullying.
